Zavee Selected to Present at the Exclusive Private Equity XLI in New York

NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Zavee (www.zavee.com) has been selected to present at one of the most exclusive venture capital summit and business innovation forums in the country.  Private Equity XLI, by NY Private Equity Forums, will be held at the Yale Club in New York on September 20, 2012. The invitation-only event limits the number of companies showcased to fewer than fifteen, making participation in this event a very prestigious honor. This premier business funding conference features companies, like Zavee, that offer game-changing technology and innovative business models. Zavee is a shopping rewards platform that provides local merchants the online tools they need to become better marketers. Unlike daily deals and other reward concepts, Zavee focuses on offers as a way to create and enhance long-term relationships between merchants and consumers.

"We are thrilled that our model and our technology have been recognized for their tremendous potential to create long-term value for millions of small businesses who are seeking effective, easy-to-use and affordable marketing tools," said Ron Stack, COO of Zavee. "The intense vetting process for this event proves that investors are more interested than ever in the rewards space, but are looking beyond the daily deal. We believe they will be excited to learn about our end-to-end platform that integrates user content and merchant offers with social media to advance local merchants' ability to use loyalty marketing, word-of-mouth and customer data to build their business."

Prior to being accepted to present for this event, Zavee was pre-screened to address the organizers' "common sense" criteria of value, proof of concept, proprietary edge, competitive advantage and potential for success applied by venture capitalists, investment partnerships, private equity funds, and small business investment corporations.

"Our goal for the event is to introduce Zavee to investors who want to finance an innovative alternative to the daily deal," Stack added. "We also want to demonstrate how our relationship with RewardsNOW, a leader in community bank loyalty programs, will put Zavee on a fast track to profitability. Steve VanFleet, RewardsNOW's CEO, will be joining us at the event to describe our relationship and lend his endorsement."
